RELIGION
Sir, —“H.J.H.” admits in one of his letters that he does not use his free will. If a Russian lady went to England and adopted a young baby, took it to Moscow, and educated it there, it would have no free will, and would grow up Russian. I was taught that “ignorance believes; intelligence examines and explains.” Too much doubt is better than too much credulity: there is nothing too sacred to be investigated, nothing too holy to be understood. I put my faith in the investigator and the experimenter. In my experience the creator of the universe has never revealed anything to mankind.—Yours, etc., RATIONALIST. April 19, 1955. [This correspondence is now closed.— Ed., “The Press.”]
